The new artesian we'll, which wss
completed last week, is 1,540 feet deep
and five inches in diameter. A small
flow of water was struck at about 1880
feet, but the main quantity and pressure
was below 1,400 feet. The Park City
Water Company is very much pleased
with this well, and expect it will add to
their supply in a manner that will salts
fly their patrons. Anticipating the flu
ture growth of the city and an increased
of patrons, the Company has
decided to sink fourth well, and it is
the Company's intention in the future
to keep ahead of the demand. All the
wells will supply one system of mains,
and each we'll will help the other, thus
uniform pressure ali over
the city. Every family who desires
health, convenience and luxury should
be a patron Of the water company.
